Planers & Thicknessers Information

Planers and thicknessers are used to even out irregularities in wood, and, in the case of the hand held power planer, they can also be used to add chamfers or carve rebates too. Evolving from hand planes, these tools enable the user to prepare large amounts of stock at a fraction of the time it would take by hand, and with considerably less physical effort.

Here's our Quick Application Guide:

• Planer Thicknessers – The Planer Thicknesser is designed to process wide, flat boards quickly and efficiently. The required planing depth is set and then the material is simply fed into the machine. An essential tool in many carpentry and joinery workshops, the planer thicknesser ensures all the stock needed for a project is flat and uniform before commencing with construction.
• Planers – like the hand planes they evolved from, power planers can be used for planing smaller areas like the end grain of a workpiece as well as larger surfaces. They are also found in a range of sizes, from compact 12v cordless models to monsters like the Makita KP312. Most models are supplied with a side fence which enables them to be used for cutting rebates as well as standard surface planing. Another common task planers are suitable for is creating chamfers, and many have a grooved slot in their sole plate to facilitate this application.
